It was about ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the next telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Princes Risborough and put petrol in her diesel Honda rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so stressed. Yet another job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Princes Risborough (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They can also fix the normal troubles that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Princes Risborough - Princes Risborough Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Princes Risborough. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Mitsubishi, and were about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this goes on everyday in Buckinghamshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!
